.This invention relates. to certain new and useful improvements 1nvanity cases and the primary object thereofisto provide acase having animproved loose powder holding and dispensing compartment, and also animproved rouge containing compartment and more particularly to therebyprovide a case of more compact andfalso simplified construction,enabling the parts to be easily and quickly assemble Further, theinvention aims to improve the manner of connecting the finger engagingor carrying bail and also theinirror hinging means and to provideimproved latching means for the mirror.

The invention has still further and other objects which will be laterset forth and be manifested in the course of the following description.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side'elevation of the invention, theparts being in closed position;

shown in open position.

Figure 4 is a section on line 44 of Figure Figure 2 showing however, theniirrorclosed and the bail engaglng ears 1n dlflerent stages inmanufacture. i In proceeding in accordance with the present invention, acase 1s provided hav ng a body 1 and acover 2 each being ofconcavoconvex form. as shown in Figure 4. The

body andcover are shown as of-hexagonal outline, although any desiredshape may be employed, and are hingedly connected.

The body 1 has a top plate 4, while the cover 2 has a corresponding topplate 5, the adjacent sides of the plates being extended and rolled toform hinge knuckles 6 for receiv- 'ing the usual pintle 7 As shown inFigure 5 the top plate 4 has ears 8 extended there- .from whicharerolled to form eyes rotat ably receiving the inturned ends 9 of a fin.-

For the purpose of forming a'loose powder compartment, inth'e body lthe'top plated side edge elevation of Figthereof is formed with acircular opening surrou nded or defined by a circularflange 1 1WlilCllGXtBDds toward the concave bottom,

and which has its lower edge inturned to form a ledge 12. A springlatching ring 13 loosely surrounds the flange llin eccentric relationthereto, and has a T-shaped projection 14; which is received in a seat15provided" therefor in the-fiange ll A finger piece 16 is providedon'the' ring 131oppositeto the T-projection" 14 and has a latch 17thereon,

The disk 24 is roe-*Figure 2 is atop plan View, the parts being tatably eonneeted re disk bya" rivet 25 and has an opening 26 which when in regis'ter with opening22 enables'the powder compartment tobe refilled; A finger projection 27"extends outwardly from disk 24 to enable same'sto be' rotated. 1 I 1{"A mirror 28 is hinged to the plate 5Qby means of a; pm 29*, the latterbeing -headed into engagement; with a pair of 3 spaced ears ingi 3l,xthe opening receiving an extension 32 formed on the a mirror frame Fand which is rolledito form an eye that embraces the pin and isfreceivedbetWee'n the ears30.

is soldered to the lip. he oupremovably receives a rouge cake 38therein.

with a keeper 41 formed on the wall 33 adj acent to a finger nail curveddepression 42, the latter afiording ready access to the nail recess-4Oin the mirror frame.

From the foregoing it will be seen that a very compact structure isafl'orded and that a minimum of soldering is involved, in which regard,the tops l and 5 are also soldered to the body 1 and cover 2, at theiredges.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a vanity case, a member having a mirror seat, and having spacedstruck-out ears which extend upwardly from said member and which form anopening, a pin headed at its ends into engagement with the ears, and amirror frame receivable on said seat and formed with an extension whichis received in said opening and which is rolled about said pin in thespace between the ears.

2. In a vanity case, abody having a flange formed with a seat, a springlatching ring having a T-shaped projection received in said seat andhaving a finger piece opposite to the projection and carrying a catch,and a cover hinged to the body and having a keeper to receive the catch.

3. In a vanity case, a body having a bottom and a top formed with acircular flange which extends toward the bottom, a hinged cover for thebody having a keeper, a spring ring eccentric to the body andsurrounding said flange and secured thereto, at a point adjacent to thehinge, a finger piece on the ring opposite to said point of securementthereof, a catch on the ring extending through the top and engageablewith the keeper of the cover. 3

4. In a vanity case, a body having a top and a hinged cover, a springlatching ring secured to the body adjacent to said hinge of the coverand having a finger piece and a latch which latter projects through thetop, and a keeper on the cover to engage the latch.

5. In a Vanity case, a body having a ring like top plate provided withan inwardly extending circularfiange, the inner edge. of which is turnedtoward the centerofthe plate to form a ledge disposed substantiallyparallel to the bottom of the body, a pair of disks pivoted at theircenters and being both disposed within the fiange, the innermost diskbeing seated upon the ledge and secured thereto, the innermost diskhaving an openlng and the outermost disk having a group of perforationsand a filling opening, which latter and the group of perforations areselectively movable to register with the open ing of the innermost disk.

6. In a vanity case, a member having a bottom and a top the latterformed with an inward extending circular wall and with a portionparallel to the top to provide a mirror seat, said seat having amarginal lip at LOUIS A. ANDERSON.
